Personal Meditation No. 149

“It may not be your fault but it is still your problem.”

Embrace the Within.

Nothing like the fickleness of Maryland weather. I go from prepping the heaters and greenhouses to a nearly seventy-degree day today. Well, at least the work is finished and the plan is in place for when the temperatures bottom out again. That will probably be again tonight.

So, I don’t worry too much ahead on things like that. The best I can do is be prepared and let life happen how it will. If more folks were prepared for life, then there would be a lot less complaining and blaming. Most folks live moment to moment and day to day with no long term goals or destination. Their goals are simply to make it through the week at the longest. Just looking forward to their next day off. While we don’t take days off.

There are no days off when you’re working on your goal. The path of life does not come with holidays or three-day weekends or vacations. You have to work on those things every single day. There are no days off.

And if there were days off, would you take them? Do you really want to stop your progress? Do you really want to slide into the old rut of sameness you had? Do you really want to lose ground on the journey of your life? Do you really want to take a break from living?

I don’t need a break from living. That is death. Death is when you get to take a break from all this living. So, are you choosing to be alive or to be dead? Because living is always a struggle and death is the release from that struggle.

I don’t need a break from living. I enjoy what I am doing. I look forward to the challenges of life. I look forward to the struggles and the surprises. I look forward to where the day will lead. I look forward to the choices and opportunities in my path. I look forward to being grateful for what I make happen. Amor fati.

Are you living?

Have the day you want. I hope you find whatever you’re looking for.
